This is probably not the best context but I find it crazy how fast the government will get involved if it involves lude content but children are getting mudered in school shootings and gun control is just a bridge too far.
I think they act faster on those matters because, aside from being a very serious problem, they also have a conservative agenda.
Is very easy to say: “LOOK, WE ARE DOING THIS TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM PEDOPHILES!!!”
But they can’t just go and say “let’s enforce gun safety on schools”, because having a conservative voter reading “gun safety” will already go bad for them.
They know they are sacrificing the well being of children by not acting on the school shootings, but for them is just the price of a few lives to stay in power.
Are quaaludes even still available in 2024?
Or did you mean to say “lewd”?
If only their were context clues… oh wait you’re just being a jerk.
Sorry can’t help it; I’m an energy vampire and we tend to be jerks. Got it from my dad.
There’s no competing interests when it comes to protecting child from child sexual exploitation. When it comes to protecting them from guns, there is the competing interest of the second amendment.
No reason not to ban them entirely.
The problem is enforcing the ban. Would it be a crime to have access to the software, or would they need to catch the criminals with the images and video files? It would be trivial to host a site in a country without legal protections and make the software available from anywhere.
That title is…misleading. Why start it that way?
It does sound off. But, then again, these are politicians, so it could go either way.
“We’re gonna ban Internet stuff” is something said by people who have no idea how the Internet works.
They probably do this to satisfy voters who also don’t know how the internet works.
For some reason I thought it was mainly to protect Taylor Swift, with teen girls being the afterthought.
And no chance it’s because they want to, uh, thoroughly investigate the evidence…
My digital bobs and vagene is very special I’ll have you know
